Iron Marshmallows: Xenia Metaxas, a girl of steel and velvet

While her name is Grecian, where she's originally from, who can say? It's fortunate that she's usually even tempered. That's a useful trait when you can rip apart a bulldozer with your bare hands . . . and not simply because you're superstrong.

Although her range is at best a few meters, she can enhance her own durability while simultaneously weakening other materials -- animate or inanimate.

This ability can be blocked by several millimeters-worth of superconductive material.

She's 5 times as fast as "normal" and 250 times as strong. And her "normal" could render her a gold medal contender in just about any World Class, women's athletic competition she'd set her mind to.

So... What's she running from?
